What’s included in DRIVECLUB PlayStation Plus Edition? (Update)

The first of three new videos has all the details

UPDATE: Our priority for DRIVECLUB is to enable you to play and enjoy everything it has to offer and PlayStation recognises that the prior plan for DRIVECLUB entitlement for the upgrade to the PS Plus edition was not appropriate. As a result, we have adjusted the PlayStation Plus terms for DRIVECLUB.

Now, If you intend on downloading DRIVECLUB PlayStation Plus Edition, and upgrading to the full game experience, you will have access to the full game even if your PlayStation Plus subscription runs out.

ORIGINAL POST:Last week we announced the release date for PS4′s first socially connected racing game – DRIVECLUB. The response we’ve seen to the trailer has been seriously overwhelming and it’s time for some more news.

Welcome to the first of three DRIVECLUB updates this week. DRIVECLUB PlayStation Plus Edition has been a hot topic since its announce, so today’s video (the first of three) should answer most of your questions about the actual content included in this edition compared to the Blu-ray version.

One of the recurring questions we keep seeing is about the scale of the PlayStation Plus Edition. The simple answer is that with an active PlayStation Plus subscription, you can download DRIVECLUB PlayStation Plus Edition which comes with one location (India), 11 tracks, 10 cars and access to all game modes.

But why did we choose to offer this particular selection of the game to PlayStation Plus subscribers for free?

DRIVECLUB is inherently next gen.

It’s about accessibility for all and building a community of gamers who love online play.

“DRIVECLUB PlayStation Plus Edition is designed to be a quick and easy way for gamers all over the world to join the DRIVECLUB community”

DRIVECLUB PlayStation Plus Edition is designed to be a quick and easy way for gamers all over the world to join the DRIVECLUB community. You can take part in all the game modes, set, send and compete in challenges, and race online against others in the DRIVECLUB community.

We think you’ll have a lot of fun playing DRIVECLUB and it’s available from 8th October in Europe, digitally via PlayStation Store and on Blu-ray at your local retailer. If you’re an active PlayStation Plus subscriber and have been playing the PlayStation Plus Edition, but decide you want the full DRIVECLUB experience, you can purchase a one-time upgrade for €49.99/$49.99/£42.99. This will give you access to all five locations, 55 tracks, 50 cars and all 50 tour events, as long as your PlayStation Plus subscription remains active.

If you’re not an active PlayStation Plus member, you can still get DRIVECLUB via the PlayStation Store or your local retailer on Blu-ray.

Stay tuned because there’s more content coming tomorrow with the ‘Clubs’ video, explaining why they’re crucial to making DRIVECLUB distinctly different.

Friday’s episode is all about challenges – why we love ‘em, what they give you and importantly, how they’ll make the game infinitely more networked and fun to play in your Club.

Over and out.

Where are all the posts defending the "option"?

No more, its only an option or repeating that you can get the retail version.

I mean even Sony admitted that is was inappropriate? Cmon...I promise I won't hold it against you.

:D

Glad to see they changed their minds on that. I had to reread that original post a few times to make sure that they actually meant what they had said.

i still don't think the previous "option" was as anti-consumer as you played it up,.. it was just a dumb option. to expensive for what was being offered.

..the new version of the option is much more enticing though. i'm happy they changed.

That makes sense. Good change. If you pay nearly full price, it should be no different in ownership. But in the end, I don't see anyone who wants this game to also want to limit it to only offline mode. Just sayin.

Yep true. Plus some gamers have no intention of ending their PS+ subscription...so this change wont really effect them.

At the end of the day it would have still been a discount.

That being said i was pretty upset when i first heard of the way the upgrade was being handled.
